The State Treasurer's Report.

The message of Gov. Boutwell, is 40,
the only State document presented to
the present Legis allure which is wor
thy Of the pride o. all our citizens. tn,
report of Hon. E. c. Burleigh, Stat,
Treasurer is rerlete with facts an,
figures which make one proud not onl,
, of the good old State of Maine. but o
the pre-eminently able and straightfor
wand manner in which its public al
fairs have been administered by the re.
publican party for so many wears.
The Treasurer's report shows tat no
only the State debt has been reduced
during the year Just closed. but that 4:
most gratifyingly large reduction in the
State tax is so feasible that it is heart
ilv recommended. The report shows
substantial balance in the trca>ur,
and statement of receipts and expen
ditures which one may read wi Ii posi-
tive pleasure.
In the last issue of this paper We
printed an abstract of Mr. BLrlcigh',
report. showing the receipts. expendl'
lures. and other transactions of his Of
fee during the year lsS6.together with
"A plain and carefully prepared exhibit
of the debt aud sinking .und, from
which we learn that during the year the
state debt has been reduced 5000. ll2.-
I6. The total net bonded debt of the
State after deduciing the sinking fund.
at lis present market value, is 81, 1872
1913.
Tile Treasurer vas authorized 10y
Jie last Legislature TO procure for the
Year 1856 temporary loan of $500
900, hut though the receipts of the of
fee were derived from reduced rate
# TAXATION, the Treasurer was not
obliged To avail himself Of the author
iiv granted bv the resolve. all demands
upon the treasury having been met
from the current receipts OF the office
and cash balance left IN the treasury
amounting to the sum of 1918 81. a..
These figures are an unimpeachahle
testimonial 10 the integrity and good
management of Mr. Burlcigh who now
recommends to the Legislature the do
IN away Of the present sinking fund
aud the rctunding of the debt which
slall he left, minus tie amount of the
sinking fund. and establish either new
sinking fund for the liquidation Of the
bonded debt, OF in retuuding the debt
make the boz d> payable in equal parts
for forty consecutive Years.
Reduction of the state debt and re-
duciion of taxation, both at the same
time. j. mixture which IF well ,ha-
>yn. may be taken by all of without

Without exception they are
anxious to make connection with
Dallas and subsidies amounting
at least 100000 in land town lots
and money has actually been sub
scribed aside from one half of sew.

lands and the right of way-the
response by the people was in
every way encouraged.

tons have been made by two
northern construction companies
to contract and equip the road at
once. Having had considerable
experience in railway matters |
am confident that the road will be
built Immediately and the cars
will be running into Dallas within
few months, the development
of the country through which this
road runs is a commercial neces-
ity and it will be built, several
permanent citizens of Dallas are
now forming a construction COM
pany and it is more than probable
that it will be built by Dallas Cap
